Hi all,
I reculutered a yeast form a favourite dutch (now belgian) microbrewer, and grew it up to a 2.5L starter.
To grow a nice yeast cake for a upcoming club brewday, I ther together a Belgian Blonde all extract beer, OG 1070 (0.6kg sugar)
Into this I threw about 2L of the starter that had completely finished fermenting.
I forgot to add Olive oil to the batch of beer as I normall use in place of aeration, so far no issues with attenuation doing this.
I figured there woudl be a bit of residual oil in the starter liquid, so chose not to root around aerating.
Pitched at 16C Gravity dropped to 1045ish in 3 days, and has not moved in the last 4 days,
Agitation and increasing temp to 25C, has made no difference.
Anyone have any similar experiances?
I am now stepping up another starter of the same yeast to 2L,
